How does the relationship between gender and power vary cross-culturally? Are there cultural commonalities for what makes a powerful woman across different societies? What other means for measuring female power exist besides those relied upon in the West?
Globally, power for women is not always equated with access to financial gain, fame, or political influence as seen in the West. Instead, female power resonates differently from place to place and culture to culture. It is not only in the boardroom or running a global media empire that women can be legitimately powerful.
